This past Monday at my favorite music hall, Conundrum, we played part 1 of Martin Scorsese's George Harrison documentary "Living in the Material World" for free. This coming Monday, we're playing part 2 for the same exorbitant fee. On the announcement for the latter I wrote this about the former, to a very muted response:
"Revelations you missed from part one of "Living in the Material World":
1) Fifth Beatle? Margaret Thatcher
2) Every song ever written is about Pattie Boyd. "Greensleeves," "The Brandenburg Concertos," "Lulu Had A Steamboat," Beethoven's Ninth. ESPECIALLY Beethoven's Ninth. All. of. them.
3) The Beatles did not in fact record as Klaatu after their official breakup. They recorded as Hamilton, Joe Frank, and Reynolds.
4) That's George singing on "Roll Over Beethoven." (OK, that one's real. Well I didn't know!)
So come see part two, wherein we'll learn even more!"
Yeah, I know, there should be quotation marks at the beginning of each line. Sue me. Well I thought it was funny!
Something else I thought was funny: last night I dreamed I was watching an invisible porno. (How did I know it was a porno if it was invisible? That's a really good question. I'll be sure to ask my subconscious.) And I thought in my sleep, "I bet this would be a lot more entertaining on HBO!"
